I saw Lena and Tony perform in NYC years ago when I was living there. I will never forget it. It was the best show I've ever seen. I remember everything about it, it was beyond fabulous. That's when entertainers were real entertainers, with loads of talent.
Thank God we had some sound recording equipment and video, not the like today's, but not bad, because I'm glad I didn't miss this one. Ella at her best, singing jazz with a small quartet, and her coming over the top. Beautiful rendition of this song.
Oh my. Her rendition of this beautiful song sends me reeling. What an incredible restrained yet intense performance … and the explosive drama at the end when she really lets go. What emotion … she’s incredible.
Came to this because of a footnote in a paper I was reading about Princess Tiana and how her storyline centered whiteness. Really enjoy this jazzy rendition from Ms. Horne 🥰🥰
I saw this gifted lady on Broadway when she did her Grammy and Tony award winning show The Lady and her Music she was amazing to see an artist bare their soul thru dialogue and of course great music what else can I say except MISS LENA HORNE!!!
We use to have the mentality that when one of us wins we all win. The spirit of this song is a reminder of how the wind blows even in todays time. We only pray that one grows to beautiful maturity.
My beautiful caramel ..lady. ...I am... going to be .. a grand ma of a bi-racial girl in July 2022 , I am hoping hoping hoping hoping hopin my grand child can sing like LENA? yes? GOD?!!!!
I told my little cousin that this was one of the most erotic performances ever recorded. He looked at me like l was crazy. Then l told him about the subliminal symbolism rumor.......he got it now.
